DESCRIPTION
     Clawsker is an applet to edit the so called Claws Mail hidden preferences.

     Claws Mail is a fast, lightweight and feature-rich MUA with a high number
     of configurable options. To keep the binary small and fast some of these
     preferences which are not widely used are not provided with a graphical in-
     terface for inspection and/or modification.

     Users wanting to edit such preferences had to face raw editing of their
     configuration files, now you can do it with a convenient GTK interface us-
     ing Clawsker.

     In adition to hidden features Clawsker can edit also some other settings
     which usually can only be set indirectly. These include currently the saved
     positions (and sizes when available) of Claws Mail windows, all hot key
     mappings from application menus, and history files for editable autosaving
     drop-down lists.

OPTIONS
     -a | --alternate-config-dir dirname
	 Uses dirname as Claws Mail configuration directory.

     -b | --verbose
	 Tells more on the standard output.

     -c | --clawsrc filename
	 Uses filename as Claws Mail resource configuration file. This sets the
	 full file name overriding any previous setting.

     -h | --help
	 Shows a brief help screen.

     -i | --ignore-versions
	 Ignores any version detected or set by -u option. Almost all options
	 will be available.

     -k | --hide-disabled-keys
	 On hotkeys columns sets foreground colour of unassigned keys to the
	 same colour used as background, rendering them invisible until se-
	 lected. This may help locating assigned keys on very long lists.

     -r | --read-only
	 Edits hidden preferences without saving the changes. It also works
	 while Claws Mail is running.

     -s | --small-screen
	 Resolution of display is autodetected to adjust UI for screens where
	 default rendering would exceed available space. This option forces
	 those small screen adjustments. This can be useful for screens where
	 the UI fits resolution, but the screen state is already used by other
	 programs.

     -u | --use-claws-version version
	 Uses version as Claws Mail version instead of the real one. The version
	 argument is a list of integers, separated by dots if needed.

     -v | --version
	 Shows version information for program, Perl-GTK and Claws Mail.

     Weird option specifications may produce weird results (but otherwise cor-
     rect).

LIMITATIONS
     A running Claws Mail cannot be detected when using the --clawsrc option be-
     cause the directory containing the given file is not expected to be a full
     Claws Mail configuration folder. If that is the case use the --alter-
     nate-config-dir option instead.

     Detection will also fail if the temporary directory resolution differs.
     This may happen, for example, when the value of the environment variable
     TMPDIR, under Clawsker is not the same that it was when Claws Mail was
     launched. For Claws Mail versions greater than 3.17.8 different values for
     XDG_RUNTIME_DIR or XDG_CACHE_HOME may also cause this.

BUGS
     You can send bug reports using the Claws Mail bugzilla instance located at
     <http://www.thewildbeast.co.uk/claws-mail/bugzilla/>. When creating the bug
     please select the "clawsker" product.

     Security bugs can be reported also in bugzilla or to the main author di-
     rectly if a coordinated disclosure is preferable.
